Why didn't Paradox go through with Fort occupation plans?

I wrote Napoléon in particular, other generals during the same period did the same as well, although there were also generals that focused on holding strategic points rather than on the decisive battles (like Archduke Charles, for example).

Okay, but you're mentioning this to what end?

Is it to argue that ZoC shouldn't be a thing at all? That ZoC shouldn't necessarily be relevant in the late game, European theater or otherwise? That Generals should be able to bypass ZoC with high mobility? Mentioning historical examples is all well and fine, but they're not worth very much until put into the context of game mechanics.

It's ok. Concentrating on forts would've been quite much towards tactical instead of grand strategic. It's nice to have some historical strongholds but if you had to keep an eye on everything the scale just makes it super tedious.

There is a big difference between 'some people didn't enjoy this' and 'nobody enjoyed this' during playtesting. This fell into the latter category.

I know, Wiz. I was joking. Hell, I'd probably find it annoying too.
